Description

Mission Food Adv Development

This Project provides for the advanced component development and prototyping of Joint Service combat ration components/platforms and field feeding equipment designed to improve warfighter performance and reduce the logistics burden of subsistence support. Efforts funded in this Project support all four Services, the Special Operations Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency. The Army serves as the Executive Agent for this Department of Defense (DoD) program, with oversight and coordination provided by the DoD Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Board as required by DoD Directive (DoDD) 3235.02E. Centralized execution of the DoD Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Program (CFREP) with Joint Service review and approval eliminates unnecessary duplication of efforts across the Services and maximizes use of common materiel solutions. Prototypes validated within this effort transition to Army Program Element 0604713A (Combat Feeding, Clothing and Equipment) / Project 548 (Mil Subsistence Sys) for System Development and Demonstration. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC), U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier Center (SC), Natick, MA.

Mission Soldier Support and Survivability

This Program Element (PE) supports component development and prototyping for organizational equipment, improved individual clothing and equipment that enhance Soldier battlefield effectiveness, survivability, and sustainment. This PE also supports the component development and prototyping of joint service food and combat feeding equipment designed to reduce logistics burden.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)

Joint Service Field Feeding Equipment and Menu Development

This effort matures and integrates field feeding equipment technologies and prototypes in support of the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps that reduce the logistics burden, improve efficiency, and decrease operation and support costs as directed by the DoD CFREB. This effort also conducts test and evaluation (T&E) on Navy Standard Core Menu components and preparation techniques to enhance efficiency through standardization across the fleet and reduce labor requirements.

Joint Service Combat Ration Advanced Development

This effort matures and integrates combat ration technologies and prototypes that enable warfighter maneuver, readiness and effectiveness during highly mobile, dispersed operations. Technologies are transitioned from RDTE Budget Activity 3 projects to provide individual and group combat rations and components with improved capabilities including improved warfighter physical and cognitive performance through optimized nutrition and a reduced logistics burden through weight and cube reduction.
